A recent pre-print by Erola Pairó Castiñeira dr_sara_c Lucija Klaric Andrew Bretherick Konrad Rawlik ... Kenneth Baillie describes a GWAS in critically ill #COVID19 patients from the UK. Genetic associations from COVID-19 HGI were used to replicate(Table 2) & meta-analyze(Table 3) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really happy to finally introduce what we found with 2-sample Mendelian Randomization between dietary traits and blood metabolites! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our discovery of 4 human genetic variants underlying life-threatening illness in Covid-19 is past peer review and has just been published: nature.com/articles/s4158… Here's what we found: (1/n)

Our total genetic contribution assessment (TGCA) paper is published today in Nature Communications Congratulations to Ting Li for the excellent work!

So pleased to see our paper describing a model of the #raredisease Brittle Cornea Syndrome #BCS caused by mutations in Zfp469 out now DMM Journal. doi.org/10.1242/dmm.04…. Dr Amy Findlay veronique vitart MRC_HGU #eyegenetics

If you like coloc, but hate making a single causal variant assumption, check out this update now published journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a… with the package available from CRAN cran.r-project.org/package=coloc and vignette chr1swallace.github.io/coloc/articles….

Yesterday was a great day - another favourite paper just came out - see the thread for details! A favourite as this time I had a different role - I was privileged to accompany Arianna on her journey from a student to a scientist! What amazing process it was! Well done, Arianna!

We were tweeted about by Veera Rajagopal  ! Almost as exciting as publishing the paper! Thanks for a really nice summary of our work!

Our SCALLOP Consortium GWAS of the ACE2 coronavirus receptor is now published in Circulation Circulation: ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… Thanks to the 1st authors ZhiJian Yang and Erin Macdonald-Dunlop for their hard work and all the contributing cohorts for making this joint effort possible.🥳

Important collaborative work, with contributions from researchers MRC_HGU, including using data from ORCADES @vikinggenes All genetic scores are provided under a CC BY license, see omicspred.org

I’m pleased to be an author on this Nature Genetics paper making excellent use of family datasets including @vikinggenes

Extremely proud to have this paper published with Nicola Pirastu providing evidence for hierarchical nature of food preferences. Feels a bit overwhelming to actually have been part of it!

Cool topic, great people and interesting method!

Have a look at the thread below for a summary of our recent paper on BRCA1 carriers in Orkney.

It's been almost a month now and I am liking it more and more every day!

Our study mapping genetic determinants of inflammation-related proteins in 15,000 people now out in Nature Immunology rdcu.be/djb6y. Made possible by multi-national collaborative #SCALLOP consortium and leadership of Adam Butterworth #pQTL #MR #GWAS

If only I was a junior analyst! A great place with even better people on the team!

We are thrilled to announce the closing of BioAge's IPO! As of September 26, we are trading on Nasdaq as $BIOA. This milestone will enable our development of novel therapies that treat metabolic diseases by harnessing the biology of aging. (1/3)

Episode 162 of #TheGeneticsPodcast is live! Jim Wilson, Professor of Human Genetics The University of Edinburgh on the @vikinggenes project and the power of actionable #genetic insights for isolated communities. 🎧 link.chtbl.com/EP162?sid=x 📽️ youtu.be/3nSvOK2xG3E?fe… #genomics

BioAge is excited to announce a multi-year research collaboration with Novartis focused on discovering novel therapeutic targets for age-related diseases. By exploring the molecular mechanisms at the intersection of aging biology and exercise, we aim to accelerate the
